Summary
Eddie’s voice knocks him silly again as he meets his eyes and breathes, “Jesus Christ, Andy?” Then he is striding down the porch stairs and colliding, full-bodied, into him. He nearly knocks them both over. And Eddie’s mother is calling his name, admonishing him for cursing, but Eddie says it again, this time right by Andy’s ear, his voice tight with tears, “Jesus Christ, Skipper.”

Summary
By the time you found him tangled in the lily pads and finally dragged him onto the muddy beach, he’d gone still. Eyelids half-closed, mouth open. You look at his sternum, at the place where you tried to expel the water from his lungs. If he were alive it would bruise.
He isn’t; it doesn’t.
You’re there when it happens and you don’t save him. That’s the worst part.Or, the summer Joe dies, George walks into Hell.

Summary
They’re all trusting Nixon’s bribe to set the match and gain Speirs’ good favor, and Nixon trusted George to sell the fall to Mayer and Doherty. He did, of course. God gave George a myriad of talents, but best of all is his mouth. And if, perhaps, God also gave George a nimble hand, then Lewis Nixon saw fit to give him a butterfly knife with a pearl handle. And thank God he did. One is quite useless without the other.

“Remember the last time we shared a bed like this?” Brad asks.
Nate chuckles. It’s a hoarse sound that shatters into a cough. “No,” he still smiles small, “Do you?”Series

Summary
The concrete floor makes Ray shiver, but the cold is a refreshing change from back alleys, open pastures, forest floors; he’s half-certain the last time he slept under a roof was the bordello in Austin and he certainly can’t remember the last time he stayed in one town for more than a single night. It hardly matters now, anyway. Stuck. Between the soft breathing of stranger-hicks in this tumbleweed town, waiting for dawn and for his friends to bail him out.

Then Nate asks, “Did you know I let him kiss me back at Pendleton? In my office, when we got back.”
And it’s a confession, Mike supposes, but Nate says it like a challenge. Like it’s the worst thing someone has ever done behind a locked door and he’s daring Mike to forgive him for it. -

Summary
George can hear Perco’s voice shouting at him to leave it. Funny how his voice of reason sounds so much more like Frank than himself. But George ignores it. Instead, he approaches softly, almost treading on his toes, that is, until the slouching figure crumples to the ground.
